Making the MDGs work for all : gender responsive rights-based approaches to the MDGs

---

This UNIFEM publication, that presents a gender-responsive rights-based approach to MDG implementation, is a useful and relevant resource with strong East, Southeast, South Asian, and national resonance. It is gender-responsive and rights-based in that it takes account of (a) the different and unequal situation of women and men, girls and boys in most contexts and (b) the different and discriminatory impact of policies and institutions that mirror these socio-economic and political inequities between women and men, girls and boys. It calls attention to ensuring that policy, institutional and social environments – structure, process and content – guarantee that men and women, boys and girls have equal access to opportunities and benefits; that the State as duty bearer is obligated to protect, respect and fulfill the rights of all and to ensure that others do so too; that the capacities and capabilities especially of the most vulnerable are built to claim their rights and entitlements. domestic chores or farm
work. These barriers are challenging, but must be addressed if Goal 2 is to be achieved
